Poem
Gülten Akın
AS IF DRAWING
What are you to me, what am I to you, without pointingYou penetrate like a stranger
From the visible things in you
I derived an invisible hope
Seems like I carried your air to my room
Was I wrong to think indeed
The vine grows from a single seed
The ones who die in a fight within themselves
All of a sudden or by and by
Should they pile up or stand like remnants
The world stinks with them
Without war, without filth, without fight, without hunger
A fairy-tale, you: as if drawing an infinite sky
If only for every one
ÇİZECEK GİBİSİN
ÇİZECEK GİBİSİN
Neyimsin, neyinim, bir uç vermedenYabancı yabancı giriyorsun
Sende görünür olandan
Görünmezin umudunu aldım
Sanki iklimini odama taşıdım
Yanıldım mı, yetişir mi sandım
Bir çekirdekten bir asma
Kendi kavgasının içinde ölenler
Birden ya da yavaş yavaş
Birikseler mi kalıntı mı dursalar
Dünya ağır kokuyor onlarda
Ne savaş ne kir ne kavga ne açlık
Bir masal, bitimsiz bir gökyüzü çizecek gibisiz
Herkes için olsa

What are you to me, what am I to you, without pointingYou penetrate like a stranger

The ones who die in a fight within themselves
All of a sudden or by and by
